does leather shops, i suppose they can deal with seats with builtin airbags?

I guess you can let them know by calling them up and assess whether they are capable of handling such seats.

Visited Classic . 

Synthetic leather for 2 front n rear of sedan costs 650 n up. 

Real leather, 850 n up. 

Not inclusive of door panel do-ups, if needed. 

Not yet check with other shops

Did you ask them if the original fabric would be ripped off or the leather simply cover over it??

You can try the one I recommended a few replies earlier.  The lady owner is very nice and the price is negotiable 😉

Mr Yap(the boss I think) says if sponge is damaged, they will fix it. 

I suppose that means ripping off original worn leather

When the Mr Yap said repairing sponge, I'd guess it's already old fabric/leather ripped off

I'd definitely expect the shop to rip off the old fabric or leather and put in good new sponge if worn before rewrap with new leather.

They will remove the original fabric unless you specifically tell them not to I guess.

Try a few more shops and see which one you are more comfortable with.

Alternatively, go for half-leather to optimise cost.

The parts in contact with body use real leather and other parts use synthetic leather.

Yep, that’s what Irene recommended me when I went to redo leather seats. No need full leather actually.

Changing out leather seats can really level up your car's interior. When it comes to quality replacements, exploring options like Von Baer might be a game-changer. They offer premium leather solutions that not only elevate the look but also prioritize durability and comfort.

Local car upholstery shops or even online platforms can be great places to find a variety of seat options that match your style and car model. Just make sure to check reviews and ensure compatibility before making the switch.
